Summit on Climate Mis/Disinformation

Climate mis/disinformation is evolving — and so must our responses. The Climate Mis/Disinformation Summit, hosted by the Information Integrity Lab at the University of Ottawa, brings together researchers, policymakers, technologists, journalists, civil society, and private sector actors to take stock of the current landscape and chart a path forward.

This isn’t just a space for discussion. It’s a space to connect insights with strategies, surface promising tools and interventions, and identify shared priorities for strengthening climate information integrity.

Join us to:

• Explore how false and misleading climate narratives are shifting in form, reach, and impact — and what that means for public understanding and climate action.
• Engage with tools, frameworks, and communication approaches being used to build climate literacy, detect misleading content, and support information integrity by design.
• Take stock of the pressures facing journalism, science communication, and platform governance — and how institutions, communities, and systems are responding.
• Help shape a collective agenda for climate information integrity in the lead-up to the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) — and beyond.

Whether you work in climate science, policy, journalism, technology, advocacy — or at the intersections between them — the Summit is designed to foster dialogue, support cross-sector connections, and mobilize coordinated responses to today’s climate information challenges.
